Movement abilities (ムーブアビリティ, Mūbu Abiritei?) in Final Fantasy Tactics are learned via Job Points. Each character can equip one movement ability. Movement abilities generally allow characters to move across battlefields easier than they would otherwise be able to, while some give positive effects simply by moving.
